Chapter 168: A Shocking Plea for Help (Second Update)
Nie Zheng sat on the Taishi chair behind the desk, looking at Jia Xiufang's departing back, he fell into deep thought.
Originally, after learning that the Wu San people who helped him break the formation came to Yangzhou, Nie Zheng was quite happy in his heart, but he heard Jia Xiufang say that this Wu San people had an attempt, which made Nie Zheng a little confused.
Like his own forces, he is currently in a critical period of rapid development, and what his subordinates lack most is talents, especially capable people like Wu Sanren who are proficient in formation mystical arts.
But generally this type of capable person is a group of idle clouds and wild cranes, and they are not interested in worldly things at all, so it may be difficult to take them under their command.
However, I just heard what Jia Xiufang meant, the reason why this Wu San person helped him last time, and this time he came to Yangzhou with the team, seems to have asked for himself.
If that's the case, I don't know what he wants to ask of himself?
Thinking of this, Nie Zheng secretly considered that once that Wusan person really came to see him in person these days, if he asked him, as long as he could do something in his ability, he would definitely agree to that Wusan person.
If nothing else, just for the last time he helped him break the protective array.
All in all, he Nie Zheng always owes others a favor.
Since it is owed, it must be repaid sooner or later, but the heart of guarding against others is indispensable.
Thinking of this, Nie Zheng immediately called out loudly: "Niu Meng! ”
"Yes, big handsome!"
After hearing Nie Quan's call, Niu Meng, who was guarding outside, immediately appeared in front of Nie Zheng like an iron tower.
Nie Zheng glanced up at him and said, "Niu Meng, you wait and choose some strong brothers......
…………
The next morning, while Nie Zheng was still in bed and didn't get up, he heard several guards shouting outside. "Hello Dashuai, someone asks to see you!"
Hearing this, Nie Zheng immediately put on his robe, pushed open the door, looked at the two guards and asked, "Who is here?" ”
The guard said respectfully: "It's an old Taoist priest, and he said that the big man should know who he is." ”
"Old Taoist?"
Nie Zheng's heart moved, and he secretly guessed: "Could it be Wu Sanren?" ”
Thinking of this, Nie Zheng immediately instructed the guard: "You quickly invite him to the flower hall, remember to be polite, I will wait for him in the flower hall." ”
"Yes, Dashuai!"
When the two guards heard the order, they immediately went down and complied.
Looking at the back of the two leaving, Nie Zheng groaned slightly for a moment, and then quickly went to the flower hall to meet the guests.
As soon as Nie Zheng arrived at the flower hall, Niu Meng rushed over when he heard the news.
"Dashuai, that person is here?"
Niu Meng looked at Nie Zheng with a solemn face, completely looking like he was facing a great enemy, presumably after Nie Zheng told him about the Wusan people yesterday, he was a little worried.
Seeing Niu Meng's safety so nervous, Nie Zheng couldn't help but shake his head and smiled: "It's just a scattered person, you don't need to be so nervous, besides, since people dare to meet openly, it shows their sincerity, we can't let outsiders look down on us." ”
Hearing this, Niu Meng shook his head and said: "No matter what the other party's intentions are, everything is important to the safety of the handsome, I have just sent someone to hide around the flower hall, including five snipers, if that Wusan people dare to make unfavorable moves against the handsome, I will have his blood splashed on the spot!" ”
Speaking of this, Niu Meng's face was cold, and his eyes were full of murder.
Nie Zheng waved his hand and said in a low voice, "You retreat first, he will come soon." ”
"Yes, Dashuai!" Niu Meng immediately bowed down and retreated.
Not long after Niu Meng retreated, Nie Zheng heard a sound of footsteps in the corridor leading to the front hall, and immediately raised his eyebrows and hurriedly looked up.
Sure enough, in the corridor of the front door, an old Taoist priest with a thin face appeared, and the old Taoist priest walked unhurriedly towards the flower hall under the guidance of the guards.
Taking advantage of this short gap, Nie Zheng looked carefully.
I saw that the old Taoist priest was about sixty years old, wearing a yellow Taoist robe, with a Taoist crown on his head, although this person was more than sixty years old, but he did not show a hunchback at all, his steps were calm between walking, and his big sleeves fluttered.
However, Nie Zheng looked at his appearance carefully, and obviously felt a little discordant.
Although this old Taoist priest's posture was unusually tall, his face was unusually sallow, especially his eyes, which were dull and cloudy, and he did not have the slightest kind of essence and brilliance of a person who cultivated and practiced martial arts.
Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng was secretly strange, and said in his heart that the face of this Wusan person was really a little strange, and he had never met an old man with this temperament before.
According to common sense, such an old man with a tall posture and a steady step, their mental outlook must be very eye-catching, but on the other hand, this Wusan man, his upright posture is too special and weird compared to the sickly and sluggish look on his face.
Anyway, after Nie Zheng saw Wu Sanren, he would have a strange illusion in his heart, he felt that Wu Sanren's body and head did not belong to the same person at all.
This strange feeling is like a young body with the head of a sixty-year-old man rigidly attached.
Although Nie Zheng felt that the Wusan man looked strange in his heart, he did not show the slightest strangeness on his face, because the Wusan man had already entered the flower hall.
"The poor Wusan people have seen the handsome!" The old Taoist priest crossed his chest with one palm and saluted Nie Zheng.
This old Taoist priest is so strange, he calls himself a poor Taoist and a loose person.
But strange is strange, in the face of a capable person with real skills, Nie Zheng didn't dare to hold it up, and immediately he walked quickly to Wu Sanren, and also politely replied with a salute, and said with a smile: "Don't be polite to Sanren, please take a seat quickly." ”
After that, he invited Wu Sanren to sit down opposite the coffee table, and at this time, a county maid came up obediently to serve tea for the two, and then consciously retreated.
After the Wu Sanren sat down, Nie Zheng said with a smile on his face: "Last time, thanks to the Sanren method of breaking the formation, this enabled Nie to successfully break through the city defense, and here Nie wants to thank the Sanren for their help." Originally, after learning that the scattered people had entered the city, Nie wanted to go to the Wuye Temple in person to thank him, but he never thought that the scattered people would actually come in person today, which made Nie rude. ”
Wu Sanren waved his hand and said with a smile: "The handsome man is polite, the poor road came today, in fact, he has something to ask for." ”
Hearing this, Nie Zheng was stunned.
He never expected that this Wusan person would be so straightforward and straightforward, and he would get straight to the point as soon as he came up, which made him feel a little abrupt.
Nie Zheng's series of expression changes all fell in Wu Sanren's eyes, he groaned slightly for a moment, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "Maybe the big handsome will feel that the poor road is a little abrupt, but this matter is very important to the poor road, and it is imminent, so I have to get straight to the point." ”
Soon, Nie Zheng's expression returned to normal, and he immediately picked up the teacup and said quietly: "I don't know what the scattered people have to ask for?" As long as it is within Nie's ability, he will definitely try his best to meet the requirements of the scattered people. ”
Wu Sanren glanced at Nie Zheng deeply, and said, "Poor Dao heard that the handsome man has a firearm that can turn the river and the sea into the sea, I don't know if this matter is true or false?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Nie Zheng's hand holding the teacup stiffened, secretly shocked, and wondered how he knew that he had a depth charge? Could it be that the last time I blew up water monkeys in the Yuanjiang River, it got out? Or was he there at the time, but we didn't find him.
Thinking of this, Nie Zheng said lightly: "I do have this thing, but only I can control this thing, what's the matter, Sanren is very interested in this thing?" ”
Hearing this, Wu Sanren's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in surprise: "It turns out that Dashuai really has this divine thing, great, really good!" ”
Seeing that he was suddenly so excited, Nie Zheng was puzzled in his heart, this guy's performance was too abnormal, how could he be so happy after knowing that he had depth charges? It's like a long-lost orphan who has found his parents.
After half a ring, Wu Sanren seemed to realize that he had just lost his temper, and immediately in order to hide his embarrassment, he took a sip of the teacup and continued: "Poor Dao has something to ask for, and I hope the handsome can agree." ”
Nie Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Sanren might as well come and listen to it and see if Nie can do it." ”
Wu Sanren nodded, and said slowly: "Poor Dao wants to ask the handsome to help, and go to Gulongkeng with Poor Dao." ”
"Ancient Dragon Pit?"
Nie Zheng frowned and said, "What is the place of the ancient dragon pit?" What do the scattered people do there? ”
Hearing this, Wu Sanren's expression suddenly darkened, sighed deeply, and said: "Today, Poor Dao will tell the truth to the marshal, in fact, on the day when the marshal led the army to cross the river, Poor Dao happened to be nearby, and I saw with my own eyes that the marshal used those sacred objects that overturned the river and the sea to kill all the water monkeys hiding at the bottom of the river. ”
Speaking of this, he paused, looked at Nie Zheng and said with a smile: "Poor Dao practiced ten years ago, and most of his cultivation has already dispersed, in fact, Dashuai doesn't need to be wary of Poor Dao at all, like us, wandering people, who are indifferent to fame and fortune by nature, never participate in worldly disputes, and like to go straight to the point of doing things, and don't like to beat around the bush."
Poor Dao came today, is to let the handsome help Poor Dao go to the ancient dragon pit to hunt the 'dragon python', because the poor Dao meridians have been damaged for many years, and have taken many elixirs, but have failed to recover their injuries, but the injuries are getting more and more serious, and then the poor Dao inadvertently found in an ancient book, saying that as long as the dragon python is found, the damaged meridians can be completely healed, so as to restore cultivation and strength. As long as the marshal agrees to help, after the matter is completed, the poor road will definitely repay him a hundred times! ”
